HandyImage broken in FF v41 since 16-Nov-2017 update?

Has there been a major structural change in HandyImage script that might have broken it entirely for use within FF41 with the latest update on 16-Nov? Reason for asking is 4 computers, all running FF41+HandyImage with various OS W7x64, W7x86, XP SP3 all have non-functional HandyImage scripts since 16-Nov update.

Changes were rather small, just concerning configuration, that's the only thing which could be broken with outdated software.

Can you not install GreaseMonkey 4 onto FF41? Or simply update FF41 to up-to-date stable FF?

FF was becoming rather slow with many tabs open but update to FF57 completely fixed that and made browser noticeably faster, try it.

Unfortunately no. Greasemonkey 3.11 is the last compatible with FF versions before 57. I would greatly prefer to keep FF41 as it's the last version that still has the Options dialog openable in its own floating window instead of displayed as a webpage and is also still compatible with many useful obsolete add-ons I use everyday such as DownThemAll, Snap Links Plus & SortPlaces. The prospect of having to give up all of those, just to get all the added bloat of a much later FF version, doesn't sound very appealing. HandyImage is great too, but its backward compatibility appears to be broken.

How can I go back to the last script update before the 2017-11-16 one to reinstall it as a test to see if the 16-11 update really is the cause of HandyImage ceased functionality?

See history for previous versions https://github.com/Owyn/HandyImage/commits/master/HandyImage.user.js (this one https://github.com/Owyn/HandyImage/raw/4430cc8c2aa7f6cffcfe9e932b86f07fb52f88f6/HandyImage.user.js )

but as I said only thing which could be broken is configuration due to API changes, there wasn't anything else changed.

Thanks for that link Owyn. I'm on Firefox 52 ESR and couldn't access the config options at all. Rolled back to that version and they're back.

Thank you! Everything is instantly fixed with rollback to that older script. It might only be a small API config change, but it completely breaks HandyImage in older versions of FF.

You're right, in firefox 52- there is no definition for async , await keywords, so script would throw an error instead.

Updated so it would work in any case.

New version 19.11.2017 working perfect in FF41. Thank you.
